Extract:
Another important teaching of the Qur’an for people all over the world today is that God chose not to create human beings as one nation and bestowed upon them free will to believe or not to believe. As it is written in the Qur’an (Maedah 5:48): “For every one of you did We appoint a law and a way. If God had pleased He would have made you one people, but (He didn’t) that He might test you in what He gave you. Therefore compete with one another to hasten to virtuous deeds; for all return to God, so He will let you know (after Judgment Day) that in which you differed.” This is a wonderful further development of the teaching of the Biblical prophet Micah (4:5) that in the end of days—the Messianic Age—”All people will walk, each in the name of their own God, and we shall walk in the name of the Lord our God forever.” continue reading

2008 Multifaith Walk Against Violence.
Syndicated from: Multifaith Information Gateway on Sat, 05/03/2008 - 17:54 Interfaith Dialog Interspirituality Religious accommodation syndicated blogs toleranceWe’re coming in your direction
Multi-faith Walk Against
Violence
April 20 to November 30
Cross-Canada Walk
The Walk is scheduled to begin on April 20 in Halifax and to end at around the end of November in Victoria, B.C. It represents a move on the part of the Multifaith community to unite in raising awareness about the effects of violence on every individual and how all forms of violence touch us. We also aim to provide a forum for all those who work with the victims of violence to speak their minds. Our target is broad - including domestic violence, elder abuse, gang violence, bullying, international violence and other forms of violence that prevent individuals and societies from reaching their full potential. In conclusion, invite members of all faiths to walk and talk with us, and to give a voice to the victims of violence and all those concerned enough to speak out. We would like to extend a formal invitation to members of your community, to join us when Imam Syed Soharwardy and other members of the core group begin their walk in Halifax.
